Description

Welcome to Peculiar, MO. For most, life is good in this idyllic Midwestern town, until a falling star brings an unearthly menace. Soon animals are found dying of a mysterious disease, and an invasion of mind and soul overcomes the townspeople. A hidden military operation makes its presence known, as it tries to prevent an alien life cycle from reaching its terrifying climax.

Review by: M Jones on June 16, 2010 :
Really enjoying this book. A good, tense read with great characters and a beautifully described eerie setting. Definitely an author to watch.

Brr, this is scary. I don't usually read horror and I didn't want to read this book at night as it was so real - like I was there with the cats - but I couldn't stop reading it.

I've purchased everything I can find by this author and he's never disappointed me. Another great book!
